This work cross-references, contextualizes, and distinguishes semantic values in the words in Edward Taylor's major poems. "The Concordance to the Major Poems of Edward Taylor" is a general use concordance of the work of British colonial and American puritan poet, Edward Taylor (d. 1729). Taylor's major poems, "Gods Determinations" and "Preparatory Meditations", represent nearly 50 years of poetic production of this devotional poet, whose emphasis on language and linguistic complexity make this concordance an essential tool of scholarship. This keyword-in-context (KWIC) concordance is based on Daniel Patterson's recent edition, "Edward Taylor's Gods Determinations and Preparatory Meditations" (Kent State UP, 2003) and offers users an extensive compilation and sorting of orthographic variants, treatment of homographs as discrete words, and an index of other words typically excluded from such works.
